Saints Agree to Two-Year Deal With Veteran Tight End Noah Fant

The veteran pass catcher bolsters Tyler Shough’s options during New Orleans’ busy start to free agency.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero report the Saints have agreed to terms with Noah Fant on a two-year contract.
  • Financial terms are reported as two years and $8.75 million with $4.5 million guaranteed, figures not announced by the team.
  • Fant, the No. 20 pick in 2019, has played for Denver, Seattle and Cincinnati, posting 34 catches for 288 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games last season with the Bengals.
  • His arrival adds depth behind starter Juwan Johnson and brings uncertainty to free-agent tight end Foster Moreau’s future in New Orleans.
